'Opening of the Schlumberger Reservoir Laboratory in Abu Dhabi complements our existing footprint of laboratories in the Middle East, demonstrating our steadfast commitment to the region,' said Wallace Pescarini, president, Testing Services, Schlumberger. 'Our customers now have better access to our proprietary technologies, workflows and global domain expertise for achieving the most representative data in mitigating risk and maximizing production.'

The Abu Dhabi laboratory features proprietary CoreFlow digital rock and fluid analytics services for creating 3D reservoir models to simulate flow performance under multiple scenarios. It is also the first Schlumberger laboratory outside of the United States to offer FIS fluid inclusion stratigraphy analysis for evaluating the abundance, distribution and composition of hydrocarbon and nonhydrocarbon species trapped in inclusions in cuttings or core samples.

Schlumberger operates more than 15 rock and fluids analysis laboratories around the world. The Abu Dhabi laboratory opening plays an integral role in supporting our commitment to providing unparalleled fluid and core analysis services across the entire life of the reservoir.
